While You’re Watching Gilmore Girls… Links, Likes, and More 11.26.16

November 26, 2016

You’re watching, right?!?!

YOU GUYS, I have the WORST case of the couch potatoes! I’m literally paralyzed by all the amazing deals going on online right now AND the amazing television binge-watching opportunities at my fingertips. The truth is, I’ve been in my pajamas since about 9PM Thursday night. I’ve ordered my Christmas cards and more than half the gifts on my list to buy, but I’ve only watched ONE season of GG so far (and I’m two episodes behind on This Is Us and haven’t even looked at The Crown yet). What am I even doing with my life?!?!

Anyway, I guess you can call this is a special late-Saturday Thanksgiving Weekend edition of Links & Likes – heavy on Likes. 😉 There are SO many blog posts out there right now with great sale round ups etc., so I’m going to try to narrow my list down to the very best of the best + the ones I’ve actually been shopping in the last 48 hours. If I missed something super important, feel free to leave a memo in the comments and help a girl out. Until then, happy shopping/coffee drinking/cuddling/watching! Enjoy your weekend!

Also, at Laura’s recommendation on The Sorta Awesome Podcast, I got hooked on Off Camera with Sam Jones this week. The interviews with Kristen Bell (Episode 57) and Dax Shepherd (Episode 36) – especially Dax’s actually – are worth ignoring your family for a few hours to listen.

And,, I’ve mentioned before that I LOVE listening to audiobooks and podcasts with my kids (well, mostly Sam) on car trips. Two of my favorites are StoryNory and Stories Podcast; and, lately, we’ve discovered two more that my kids both adore – Sesame Street Podcast (this one also has video, and Nora is OBSESSED) and Disney Story Central Podcast (way shorter retellings of favorite Disney Pixar movies with fun sound effects and voices) – keep that in your back pocket for when little people start screaming in your backseat. You can thank me later! 😉

Anthropologie is offering 30% off everything right now with code LETSGO. I got several little gifts there this morning, including a few of these adorable wrapped soaps to use as teacher/hostess/neighbor gifts for only $6.50 each.

I always order my Christmas cards from Vista Print for seriously a THIRD of the cost of some of the other big names and, this weekend, they are offering 60% off!! There are some cute designs to choose from, or you can design your own on Picmonkey and upload and print from there.

I grabbed this book at Barnes & Noble for only $10 for Sam. I’ve had my eye on it for a while and was SO excited to find it at such a great price! (It’s also sold at Amazon and Anthro for way more $$). *Try adding the code BNBFRIDAY16 to your cart for an additional 30% off too!!

Comments

I JUST started podcasts with my kids! We’ve listened to several StoryNory and Disney episodes. They LOVE them — especially David. We’ve tried longer audiobooks with him (we got Roald Dahl’s abridged collection from the library, and we’re listening to Charlotte’s Web right now) and he really likes them but I’m not sure if he really gets it all. The shorter podcasts are PERFECT though!
